Play Your Play – Play South Westminster

Rebecca Blake

22 July 2014

Games designed by the local community of South Westminster help show what matters most to them in their local area. Rebecca Blake, Tate Britain Regeneration and Community Partnerships Co-ordinator, tells us more

The games were designed by local people at the Gala Day of South West Fest where they made drawings, recorded sounds and stories about what they would like to celebrate, change or save in South Westminster. Their drawings form the building blocks of the game – avatars, background settings, obstacles and rewards.

Gala Day – making the games

You can now play 5 game levels that were developed in the Taylor Digital Studio at Tate Britain. They represent what matters most to the people of South Westminster – dogs, community spirit, public services and the simple pleasures of a sunny day.

Watch the film made by Pete Gomes to see and hear the people behind the games: coppers, firemen, students, churchgoers, dog lovers, futurologists, parents, and inventors:
